WELCOME TO LA DOLCE VIGNA!

Ciao! My name is Leslie Rosa. I am the founder of La Dolce Vigna, a wine-focused travel company.

As an art-curator-turned-sommelier, my passion is to create immersive experiences and itineraries in which each day tells a story and offers an in-depth look at the history and culture of a particular region through the lens of wine.

Whether you are interested in a small group tour with other cultured travelers, a private trip with friends and family, or a bespoke itinerary for you to explore on your own, I would be happy to create something special for you.

“We just returned for the most amazing trip with La Dolce Vigna, and we can’t stop talking about it! Every day was filled with first-rate adventures. We couldn’t have been more pleased!”
— Mary C. | Davis, CA
